It starts when the driver loads as a high freq kinda hum then no matter
player I use it sounds like stuttering mice on crank:(
np problem in other machines just the one with the intel 8x?? driver
but that's my fastest machine it looks great and
I really like it and I'm sure it's a minor glitch that can be fixed since it
worked on the other machines it must be in my hardware right?

I'm not sure. Anybody seen this problem before? I don't have any Intel machines to test on. willlhunt, can you pm me the entire /tmp/xerrs.log from that machine? Or post as an attachment. I'd like to see if there are any relevant errors/warnings. I'd do it after a fresh reboot and playing of those stuttering mice

The last two lines are a guess. I'm trying to see if we have all the necessary kernel modules loaded on that machine. Hope I'm not barking up the wrong tree here.
Oh, make sure the MAD MPEG Decoder Plugin is disabled in XMMS Preferences | Audio Plugins. When testing on that machine make sure XMMS is closed and not listed in the Process List (click on CPU graph next to date on IceWM taskbar.) If xmms-... is running select it and click Hang Up in gPS Process List, repeating until xmms is all gone. I'd start with the file types in in /usr/share/audio.

i wanted to test this derivate by myself - using vmware player - i´ve tested several puppy derivates this way before - but this one doesn´t work - i can´t choose a resolution of my like... i use XVESA of course...

I got the same thing as dWLkR in vmware right down to the screen shots.
When I tried it as a Live CD booting the PC , I selected VESA and was given no provision to set the screen resolution The displayed text was huge and would not fit on my monitor. I looked at the XORG configuration file and it showed my 19" monitor as being 300 X 380 mm. Since I don't know how to convert 1024X768 to mm specs I gave up for now. I could not find anything to set the screen resolution so for now, the CD is just so much trash. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Yeah i am not able to use Xvesa....the resolution looks to be about 150 x 100 (!!!) '' and i can't get around easily....i managed to locate the 1024 x 768 button and clicked it, but it did not reset the resolution. This happens on two different machines, one is a PII (or equivalent) w/ 268 mb RAM, the other is a PIII equivalent w/ just onder 400 mb RAM. It does work well with Xorg, however! Except i can't get it to do the multisession CD. My unit is a little funny that way so unless others have this problem, fuggetaboutit. This optorite CD-RW is not generally recognized in Linux but i am happy to say that the newer puppies are able to burn regular CDs -- including Lighthouse.

Hi taoc, just to report with my problem with auto det of my enet card/chipset. I retried the other bootup intructions as in the opening
screen but none of these would work for me, so I reverted to the
instructions of previous versions of puppy with this instruction --
on the command line - so be quick to type!

Tui,
Thanks for the update, I'm not sure how 'vga=785' would affect the net connection, but, yes 'pfix=ram' starts fresh anew completely in ram, without the pup_save file. Glad it worked for you!

As indicated on the bootup screen, just hit an arrow key to pause on it. In Lighthouse, you can simply type 'ram' at the prompt to boot entirely in RAM. For other boot options, type 'lhp <options here>'. In Puppy you need to type 'puppy <options here>' e.g., 'puppy pfix=ram'. (without the ' ' of course.)

Possibly related issue, a friend here has a Dell with a Tulip lan card that sometimes won't remember the net settings on reboot/shutdown. I'm working a fix for that. Has something to do with dhcpcd I think.

Then re-run xorgwizard, choosing Xvesa and the resolution choice dialog should be back!

Straight from LiveCD boot you can also choose Xvesa, then press Ctrl+Alt+R to launch terminal. If you can find the prompt in that 'keyhole window', then type xrandr [Enter]
Then pick a resolution SZ# e.g. 6 or 7 (higher is larger) from the list and type:

Code:

xrandr -s <SZ> [Enter]

Then you should have the real estate use a graphical text editor and edit /root/.xinitrc as above so that things will work better on restarting X.

In addition to improving on this fix, there are a few other issues with Xvesa in Lighthouse (Conky flickers a bit, shadows should be disabled) that I'm working on for the next release.

Actually, can flash player 9 be included in the next release?? Or does it not work in SeaMonkey, and that is why you are working on the Opera and Firefox squash files? My vote would be to include a default browser preconfigured to use Flash...

Hi! Checking out Lighthouse some more. I like the XMM System (even if it is almost just eyecandy). Glad you are not dropping it.

Thanks It's good to know XMMS works for you. Sometimes the MAD MPEG Decoder and CoverViewer Plug-ins act up, but it's still great. I think Audacious is promising, what little time I've spent with it. But for now XMMS is it.

I tried to install flashplayer 9 and got the following error. Thought you might like to know for the next beta:

Check SeaMonkey's Help | About Plug-ins. For me, in Lighthouse SeaMonkey Flash 9 works right off without installing anything:

Ignore the Shockwave indicator and install prompt. AFAIK, Shockwave requires MS Windows or Macintosh. The Flash indicator below that is what to look for. Hopefully it will indicate the installed version when pointing at 'About' toward the right side. www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome

Anyway, it's a cool work-in-progress! Keep it up.

I appreciate that! Well Opera is often requested on the forum, I use FireFox often, so it's natural that they would be in an SFS extension for LighthousePup. Flash is still problematic at quite a few websites, particularly with video, but at least the browsers recognize it and no longer crash for me anyway. Video seems to be working at more sites lately. I've just uploaded a Mariner SFS with FireFox and Opera 9.22 with Flash 9, OpenOffice 2.2 Full, CUPS Printing and more at www.lhpup.org/download.htm(Edit 7/25 Note: This was SFS built for Lighthouse and does not function well in Puppy apart from Lighthouse. See Puppy v2.15CE: www.puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy215Downloads -- bottom of page for SFS files designed for official Puppy.)
Let us know if your SeaMonkey really doesn't have Flash or if I can help further.

Hi darrelljon,
Good question! I thought about combining Lighthouse Base ISO with the Mariner SFS but since Lighthouse is still Beta, I'd rather keep them separate downloads for the time being. The other concern is bandwidth. The combined ISO would be about 182+252=434 MB and you'd still need to manually copy the Mariner SFS file from the CD-ROM or mounted ISO onto your savefile partition (where the pup_save.2fs is) and reboot.

Lighthouse and I think Puppy include Isomaster, you can use to open the base Lighthouse ISO, add in the Mariner SFS and then save this as your custom Mariner ISO.

Both LighthousePup Beta 4 and Mariner SFS are available at www.lhpup.org/download.htm
